A/N: Last time, the Toonsters' birthday party performance might have wrecked their chance at a major record deal. Can they bounce back from this, or is their career sunk? Find out on Part 2, now!
Playtime in Hip-Hop Town: Part 2
Back at the gang's table, the rest of the gang were trying to comfort the Toonsters members about the possible loss of their record deal with Adam Evans.
"Come on you guys, it's not so bad," Lilo said.
"Not so bad?!," Tony said. "We just lost or best chance at getting a big record deal."
"And breaking into the big time," Jimmy added.
"Which is bad," Bloo said, as the others glared at him. "Hey, give me the look all you like, it's still bad."
"Well come on you guys, you all know you're a great band," Daryl said.
"The best," Tommy added.
"The best of the best," Mac put in.
"And there are other record labels out there you know," Blossom reminded them.
"Yeah, and they're all gonna look us up online and see us sing that stupid kiddie in them stupid costumes," Jake said.
"Yeah. Hate to say it but I think we just killed our music careers," Timmy said.
"So no making big?," Bubbles asked.
"Most likely, no," June said.
"Oh-no," Bubbles said as she started to cry silently. Ash put a hand on her shoulder in comfort.
"Well, maybe, but that doesn't mean your lives are over," Bart said.
"Actually it kinda does," Bloo said. At this, Buttercup, angry and annoyed at Bloo's callous comments, angrily smacked him so hard, that Bloo flew out of his seat and into a bunch of trashcans.
"Buttercup!," everyone exclaimed to her.
"He was asking for it," she said. Bloo then walked back to the table and sat down again.
"That was rude," he said.
"Yeah, well what are you gonna do about it?"
Just then, Vicky, Princess, and Mindy returned, looking sweaty and exhausted.
"What happened to you three?," Ash asked.
"We chased that producer guy for nine blocks," Vicky said.
"Then we finally caught up to him at a red light and he tried to back up right over us," Princess said. "Can you guys believe that?!"
The gang all looked at each other before all saying "Yes," in unison. Just then, Bessie Higginbottom walked up to them.
"Hey, guys," she said. "I got you guys a new gig!"
"What gig?," Daryl asked.
"My friend Gwen Wu's little brother's 5th birthday at the ToonTown Palace Shopping Center. You guys can do that song you did before."
"NO WAY!," the band members said together.
"Why not? Little kids love you guys! And thought you loved that gig for that Burrows girl's birthday."
"WE HATED IT/IT RUINED OUR CAREERS!"
"But they said they'd pay you all $2000 each and I promised that…"
"We are never performing that song, or for little kids ever again!," Tony said sternly.
"Oh, phooey!," Bessie said as she walked off. Just then an idea crept into the Snob girl's heads.
"Hey guys, you thinking what I'm thinking?," Mindy asked.
"That we and the boys pose as the Toonsters, sing that song for those brats, and collect their money?," Vicky said.
"Yep."
"Then it's settled?," Princess asked.
"You bet!," Vicky said.
"Uh, you know we just heard everything," Tony said. "They'll never buy it."
"And even if they did, you'd be dressed as a hamburger," Timmy said.
"Singing to 5-year olds," Tommy said.
"Do you guys have any respect for yourselves?," Blossom asked.
"Not when it comes to money," Princess said.
"Girls, to the hamburger!," Vicky said as the three left.
Later on that day, the Toonsters sat in the music room, brooding over their misfortunes.
"That stupid kiddie song," Danny said. "It's ruined us."
"I know," Timmy said. "No amount of money is worth this."
"I never thought I'd say this, but I'm really starting to hate little kid songs right now," Bubbles said.
"Me too," Jake said.
"Make it three," June said.
"Yeah, everything was going so good until we accepted that offer," Tony said.
"Our careers in music are finished," Jimmy said as he surfed his laptop, and started listening to music from it. Suddenly he selected a song and noticed that it had the similar melody as "Favorite Foods". "Wow, guys, come here, listen to this!"
"What?," Tony said as they all came over. They all took turns wearing Jimmy's earphones to listen to the song, and notice the same exact thing!
"It's the same tune!," Bubbles said is surprise.
"Just arranged and lyricized differently!," Jimmy said.
"Well who wrote this song?," Timmy asked. Jimmy typed some stuff on the computer, and up popped some information.
"A guy named Andre Harris from Los Angeles, California. He's also the one who wrote the 'Favorite Foods' song."
"What else does it say about him?," asked Tony.
"Says he got into a similar situation when he wrote 'Favorite Foods', and then got out of it by converting it to what we just heard: Song 2 You."
"Well, you think the same thing could work for us?," Bubbles asked.
"Well let's try it out," Tony said. The band members all agreed as they each grabbed their instruments and began to play and sing the song
The scene then changed to the band doing a small performance in Tony's apartment for the rest of the gang:
All: I'll give you my song
These words to you
Sing you what I feel
My soul is true.
I don't have the world
Can't give it to you girl,
But all that I can do (Tony: All that I can do)
Is give this song to you.
Upon hearing it, the rest of the gang applauded for their friends.
"That was awesome!," Ash said.
"Incredible!," Tommy added.
"Amazing!," Blossom put in.
"And the same guy who wrote that favorite food song wrote that song too?," Daryl asked.
"Yeah, he just kept the melody, changed the rhythm and re-wrote the lyrics, and voila!," Tony said.
"Wow," Bart said.
"Hey, you know you could perform this for that producer guy, and maybe it'll convince him once and for all to sign you guys," Ash suggested. Everybody else voiced their agreement.
"Yeah, but how are we gonna get him to come see us?," Jake asked.
"Leave that…to me," Bart said.
The next day at the ToonTown Palace Shopping Center, the Snobs had disguised themselves (and Tootie, Vicky's sister) as the Toonsters, dressed in their food costumes, and had managed to fool Bessie into believing they were the band.
"I can't believe you changed your minds about this gig," she said. "The kids are gonna love you guys! Especially Gwen's brothers!"
"Oh, we look forward to it," Eugene said as Bessie walked away. He then turned to the others and said, "Well she's totally gullible."
"Duh!," Vicky said. "Soon the money will be ours and no one will even know the truth!"
"Well why did I have to come with you guys and help you in this stupid scam?," Tootie asked.
"Because, you're the only one we know who looks like that blonde PowderPuff Girl," Brad said.
"And because I said so," Vicky added.
"And now here they are, the now-internet kiddie sensation performing their hit song 'Favorite Foods', the Toonsters!"
The Snobs and Tootie entered the stage as music started to play, and began to sing the song, though pretty off-key:
All: (off-key)What I like about cheese
Is that you can put it on veggies
And it tastes...mhm mhm, so good (Tootie: Yeah!)
However, in no time, the kids started to realize that something was wrong.
"Hmm," a boy said.
"Yeah, there's something fishy going on here," said a girl.
"I have a feeling we're being scammed here," another boy said.
"They're getting suspicious," Dash whispered as he noticed this.
"Calm down," Vicky said.
"You calm down!"
Next thing they knew, Vicky and Dash were in a push-shove fight until suddenly Dash pushed Vicky into Eugene, knocking his wig off and exposing them. The song stopped as everyone gasped in shock.
"Hey, he's not the real Tony Clark!," the first boy said.
"Yes, I am," Eugene said in protest. "I'm just having a bad hair day, that's all."
Bessie, however, walked over and pulled the other Snobs and Tootie's disguises off.
"Hey, they're not the real Toonsters," the second boy snapped angrily.
"You're right kid," Bessie said, just as angry. "They're the Snob Squad…and Tootie. How could you?"
"Sorry Bessie," Tootie said remorsefully. "Vicky forced me to do it."
"They're fakers! Get them!," the little girl screamed. Immediately, the kids started booing, throwing things at the Snobs, ambushed the stage and climbed on top of the Snobs, who screamed and flailed as they tried to get away from the kids, except for Tootie, whom Bessie, being her friend and all, helped her slip out the back.
"Get off you little twerps!," Vicky screamed.
"Leave us alone!," Mindy shrieked.
"Nice going, girls," Dash yelled.
"Yeah, we should have know your cockamamie idea would never work!," Eugene added.
"Oh, shut up!," the girls all said in unison.
Back at ToonSchool, a crowd was gathered around outside as the Toonsters got ready to perform the song that would get them their rep back. Bart had managed to convince Adam Evans to return and listen to their performance of the song and the producer was in the crowd with the rest of the gang waiting.
"Here's our latest cover song, called 'Song 2 You'," Tony said as the band began to play and sing:
Tony: I don't wear designer clothes
I don't go to the finest schools
But, I know...
Tony & Bubbles: I ain't no fool, baby.
Danny:I may not be a star
I'm not driving the sickest car
But, I know...
Danny & June:I can make you happy, baby.
Tony: I don't know what you been used to
Timmy: Never been with a girl like you
Jake: But, I can give you a love that's true to
Jimmy: Your heart, not material things...
As they started on the chorus, a van pulled up and the Snobs and Tootie all exited, beat up, dazed and their costumes and disguises ruined, (except Tootie, who escaped unharmed thanks to Bessie) and walked away as the audience clapped to the beat.
All: I'll give you my song
These words to you
Sing you what I feel
My soul is true.
I don't have the world
Can't give it to you girl,
But all that I can do (Tony: All that I can do)
Is give this song to you.
(Na na na, na na na)
(Na na na, na na na)
Danny: Yeah, I know that you are blessed
But, there's something you're missing yet
Your own melody...
Oh, baby.
Tony: I don't know what you been used to
Jake: Never been with a girl like you
Bubbles: But, I can give you a love that's true to
June: Your heart, not material things...
All: I'll give you my song
These words to you
Sing you what I feel
My soul is true.
I don't have the world
Can't give it to you girl,
But all that I can do (Tony: All that I can do)
Is give this song to you.
Jimmy: I'll give you my heart, my soul, my voice; baby
June: What I can say, I'll sing it.
All: Oh, Oooh, Oooooh.
Tony: I'll give my song, these words, to you baby
Sing you what I feel, my soul is true.
All: I'll give you my song
These words to you
Sing you what I feel
My soul is true.
I don't have the world
Can't give it to you girl,
But all that I can do (Tony: All that I can do)
Is give this song to you.
The song ended and the whole audience applauded as the Toonsters all took a bow for the audience.
"Beautiful," Adam said with amazement.
The scene then returned to the present day as the band wrapped up their story to the rest of their friends.
"And Adam was so impressed by the song and our performance that he signed the whole band to a full record deal!," Tony finished the story.
"Wow amigo, that's great!," Manny Rivera said.
"And now you're getting the big break you've been after, right?," Dash Parr said.
"You bet," Bubbles said. "We're just getting started in the big leagues."
"And there's a long road ahead with plenty of adventures," Ash said.
"And we're gonna be along for the ride," Mac added.
"And we'll be watching," Bessie put in. Just then, Adam entered the room where everyone was.
"Yo guys, guess who's performing at the halftime show for the Supernova's game at the ToonDome this Saturday?," Adam said.
"No way!," Danny said. "As in ToonTown's pro-football team, the Supernovas?!"
"Yep, that's the one!"
Everyone cheered and celebrated for the announcement.
"Congrats you guys," Daryl said.
"Don't 'congrats' us yet!," June said. "This is still just the beginning!"
"Yeah! Everyone hands in, and Toonsters on three!," Tony said as the Toonsters, the gang and their friends all put their hand in a pile together. "One, two, three…"
"TOONSTERS!," everyone said as they raised their hands in the air and the scene freeze-framed at that point.
A/N: Alright! The Toonsters made their comeback and got their record deal! What other sort of adventures lie ahead for them and the rest of the gang? Stay tuned to ToonSchool to find out!
